Episode 39 – Guide dog training, with Amit Patel

Talking Dogs with Graeme Hall

Amit Patel is known as Blind Dad on social media, but it’s his guide dog Kika who’s the real star of the show. Amit uses his online presence to show how Kika helps him navigate the world – popping to the shops, taking him on airplanes, and even mothering his young children. As Amit explains though, Kika is still a Labrador, and she’s very food driven, which has led to some very funny incidents of Kika leading Amit towards doughnuts and fish’n’chips... Plus, Graeme explores what all dog owners can learn from guide dogs, especially around reading their body language and being consistent in your commands. Do you have a question for The Dogfather?
